Happy Birthday Reagan, from your family!

After a very successful Birthday Beach bash we got ready for Reagan's family birthday party on Sunday. Needless to say, it was much easier to plan for 30 adults and children than for 14 4-7 year olds. Not as much fun stories to report from the family party, but the kids did have fun playing together and the adults enjoyed good food and even better company.
Dinner was great - ham, salads, mac & cheese, potatoes.
Then it was time for presents (not that she needed anything else) but you can't have a 4 year-old without gifts at her own party. She was very excited with everything - dresses, swimming dog, games, art supplies, more clothes. Reagan did a great job of thanking everyone with hugs and kisses and was very appreciative.
Once again...time for cake. This cake was from Costco - not as creative as the flip flop cake, but really good - and chocolaty! Reagan picked this one out because it had a princess on it - imagine that.
We had a small crowd this year - we missed Papa, Bridget, Shannon, Uncle Bill, Aunt MariPat and Ed - illnesses and a new knee kept them from celebrating with us - hopefully they'll all be with us next year.
Reagan really enjoyed all of her birthday celebrations. Her great-grandma De Vries would have been so proud - she used to celebrate her birthday for at least a week so Reagan is following nicely in her footsteps.
